An impeachment lawyer for former President Donald Trump withdrew a request to suspend the Senate trial during the Jewish Sabbath.

Last week, the Senate granted David Schoen’s request to suspend the proceedings from 5 p.m. on Friday through Saturday so that he could fulfill his religious obligations, but Schoen walked it back in a Monday letter to leadership and Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, who will preside over the trial.
